Accelerated Daytime MBA
Build on your experience
In less than a year our Accelerated Daytime MBA program builds on your prior knowledge to help you develop into a new kind of leader. Having already earned your master’s degree in management, at Fuqua you’ll skip the business fundamentals to immerse yourself in the electives and experiential learning opportunities that support your unique goals. Learning alongside a diverse group of peers, you’ll develop a new way of working that draws out the strength in others and helps you become the leader who can inspire organizations to do better while doing what’s best.
Design your MBA
Our unique curriculum enables you to choose from over 100 electives. You’ll be able to broaden your expertise across multiple subjects or deepen your knowledge within a specific industry or function.
